CUJO is a podcast about culture in the age of platforms. Episodes drop every other week, but if you want the full experience, we recommend signing up for a paid subscription.Paid subscribers also get access to our CUJOPLEX Discord and The Weather Report, a monthly episode series where we take stock of where the cultural winds are blowing and tell you what's rained into our brains. On our latest installment, filmmaker and Zohran Video Guy Anthony DiMieri joins us to talk to tell us about the wild twists and turns of his career as an indie filmmaker turned key contributor to the Zohran & SubwayTakes cinematic universes, dark woke, and why everyone is obsessed with Geese. We're removing the paywall for the next week so you can give it a listen.You'll also get an invite to our second reading group meet-up: a discussion of Richard Barbrook and Andy Cameron's seminal 1995 year essay, “The Californian Ideology,” and Fred Turner's recent article for The Baffler, “The Texan Ideology.” That's going down on Sunday, January 11.In 2005, the music and culture critics Simon Reynolds and Mark Fisher (RIP) began using the term hauntology — a riff on “ontology” — to describe an emergent genre in UK music, built from archival recordings from post-war England, vinyl crackle, and haunted, elegiac atmospherics. (Think: Burial, The Caretaker, and the eerie catalog of the label Ghost Box.) They borrowed the term from Jacques Derrida, who used it to describe a present haunted by futures that had never arrived; Reynolds and Fisher heard that idea vibrating through a generation of musicians excavating Britain's cultural memory.Fisher explored hauntology's political dimension, rooting the movement in a longing for Britain's pre-Thatcherite social democratic past and an affection for cultural touchstones like the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, Brutalist architecture, and films like The Wickerman. Reynolds, meanwhile, mapped its musical lineage—back to '90s hauntology predecessors like Boards of Canada and Broadcast, and across the pond to J Dilla-era hip-hop and underground movements like freak folk, hypnagogic pop, and chillwave.A recent CUJO reading group on the topic inspired us to invite Simon—the author of books like Rip It Up and Start Again, Retromania, and Futuromania (listen to our ep about it!)—to help us mark the 20th anniversary of hauntology and explore what it has to teach us about mobilizing the culture of the past in a way that feels meaningful and even forward-lookingSimon joins us to dig into the cultural factors that gave rise to hauntology, the 21st-century fetish for obsolete media, and the differences between hauntology and simple nostalgia or “retro.” We also talk about the pasts that continue to haunt us—from rave culture to Marxism—and he gives us a sneak peek at his forthcoming book, Still in a Dream: Shoegaze, Slackers and the Reinvention of Rock, 1984–1994, arriving in 2026.Listen to our HAUNTOLOGY PLAYLIST on Apple Music and YouTubeRead more of Simon on hauntology in Retromania: Pop Culture's Addiction to Its Own Past and over at ReynoldsRetroKeep up with Simon and his writing on blissblogFollow Simon on XAdditional reading:Jacques Derrida, Specters of Marx, The State of the Debt, the Work of Mourning and the New International, 1993.Mark Fisher, “October 6, 1979: Capitalism and Bipolar Disorder,” 2005.Simon Reynolds, “Haunted Audio, a/k/a Society of the Spectral: Ghost Box, Mordant Music, and Hauntology,” director's cut of an article in the November 2006 issue of The Wire.Mark Fisher, Ghosts of My Life: Writings on Depression, Hauntology, and Lost Futures, chapter 2, 2014.

Dr. Christoph Sorg is  a social scientist at the Humboldt University of Berlin. He researches theories of capitalism and post-capitalism and the new debate on economic planning in times of digitalization and the climate crisis.During the interview we spoke about his work around understanding economic planning and his recent publication Finance as a form of economic planning. His work shows how even in the free market capitalism we live in today, there is actually a significant amount of planning, it's just that the planning is for facilitating capitalist economies, the neoliberal paradox.As the co-founder of projects like Bread Cooperative where we are trying to build out apps that facilitate post-capitalist economic relations, I think it's important for us to properly understand the current state of capitalism so that we know the kind of meaningful interventions we could make.  This episode is sponsored by NYM, the world's most private VPN.

What if depression isn't an illness to cure but a collective mood that reveals the soul of a broken world? In this episode, Mark Fisher meets James Hillman in a conversation that bridges depth psychology and cultural theory, asking how melancholy and mania shape life under late capitalism. Joined by Emma Stamm, we explore the intersections of acid communism and archetypal psychology—from Fisher's politics of despair to Hillman's vision of a polytheistic psyche. Together we ask what happens when sadness becomes privatized, and how imagination might restore the collective body of the soul. This is a dialogue on melancholy, manic culture, and the end of capitalist realism—a descent into the psychic undercurrents of our time.Patreon listeners get access to our extended conversation on ritual, weirding, and the rebirth of imagination in an age of digital exhaustion.Emma's Substack: https://elftheory.substack.com/ Emma's Website: https://www.o-culus.com/ Latest Acid Horizon updates at the time of this episode: https://splitinfinities.substack.com/p/acephalous-vintagia-and-new-thresholdsCorrection: Durations Festival is in November (not October) of 2025Support the showSupport the podcast:Current classes at Acid Horizon Research Commons (AHRC): https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/ahrc-mainWebsite: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizonAcid Horizon on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcast Boycott Watkins Media: https://xenogothic.com/2025/03/17/boycott-watkins-statement/ Join The Schizoanalysis Project: https://discord.gg/4WtaXG3QxnSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438Merch: http://www.crit-drip.comSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast platform: https://pod.link/1512615438 LEPHT HAND: https://www.patreon.com/LEPHTHANDHappy Hour at Hippel's (Adam's blog): https://happyhourathippels.wordpress.com​Split Infinities (Craig's Substack): https://splitinfinities.substack.com/​Music: https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ and https://thecominginsurrection.bandcamp.com/

Gwenno definitely lives through her art. I sat down with the musician and producer to trace a decade-long arc from home-built studios to a Mercury-nominated breakthrough, and into Utopia—an album that weaves Welsh, Cornish, and English into vivid, human pop. The conversation opens with a simple idea that grows larger as we go: language changes what music can say. Welsh brings political sharpness; Cornish opens a deep, interior cave of comfort and myth; English, returned to with intent, becomes a map of places, people, and time. Along the way, we talk about recording at home with Rhys Edwards, the porous line between family and work, and why songs feel more vital as the world gets more digital.I found it really refreshing how Gwenno doesn't hold back when it comes to talking taste, technology, and the future of culture. She pushes back on AI's promise not with fear but with a clearer definition of progress: if a tool only accelerates the past, it can't point to new worlds. We unpack Adam Curtis, Mark Fisher, and the feeling of living in a loop, then rediscover hope by looking at how scenes are actually made—people in spaces, collaging references into something surprising. That's where psychedelia lives for her: in the crack where a wildflower appears, in non-linear time, in the human mistake that turns into the moment you remember.Follow Gwenno on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/gwennosaundersBuy / Listen to Utopia on Bandcamphttps://gwenno.bandcamp.com/album/utopiaIf you enjoy Lost and Sound and want to help keep it thriving, the best way to support is simple: subscribe, leave a rating, and write a quick review on your favourite podcast platform.

For Dawn Del Russo, building a career in fashion has been a journey of resilience, adaptation, and staying true to herself. With just $10,000 in savings—partly from communion money she'd carefully saved—she launched Bella Don boutique without formal training, diving into trade shows and pricing with sheer determination and countless hours of research. A surprise feature on Fox Good Day New York brought her first big sales surge, along with a crash course in scaling without infrastructure.When broadcast opportunities began competing with her retail business, Dawn made the tough choice to close her beloved boutique—a decision that led to her thriving career as a QVC personality representing brands like Mark Fisher and Rebecca Minkoff. Through it all, she's stayed committed to authenticity, embracing her strengths, turning down misaligned opportunities, and building her Live the Glamour brand as a platform rooted in genuine passion for fashion and business.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://markfisherfitness.com/get-better/ Quotes to ponder: "When we let go of BEING PERFECT, we can start the important work of GETTING BETTER." "Feedback is crucial to GETTING BETTER." "The first step is admitting the harsh reality that none of us are special. The rules apply to us all."

It's feeling like we're living in a very strange moment in time where liberal norms of openness have been shattered by the same class of tech industry titans who expressed these values just a decade ago. In this episode I spoke to Nick Houde and Severin Matusek from co-matter, a research and strategy studio based in Berlin, who recently published an incredible memo that is chock full of incredible analysis and insight into our current moment."New World Order: The Return of Hard Power and Soft Beliefs is a 35-page research memo about what happens when power, infrastructure and ideology collide.A manual for anyone trying to make sense of the present, New World Order contains ideas, context and language to participate in shaping the world that emerges in front of our eyes."The memo is chock full of useful and powerful concepts that help explain this moment. You can order a copy of the memo on Metalabel here. (I've already got my copy!) Lots of great quotes like "Yesterday's moral stance is tomorrow's liability" and "Whoever controls the infrastructure controls reality itself."This episode is sponsored by NYM, the world's most private VPN.

What do you do when ministry collides with real life—tragedy, grief, and the questions no textbook ever prepared you for? In this powerful episode of Youth Worker on Fire, Doug Edwards reconnects with Mark Fisher, one of his first Campus Life students, to explore some of the hardest lessons learned in youth ministry and beyond. From serving as a chaplain near the Texas-Mexico border, to walking through cancer, loss, and tragedy, to pastoring and parenting through deep personal heartbreak, Mark's journey is both raw and inspiring. Together, Doug and Mark unpack: ✅ The role of faith in seasons of loss. ✅ Why youth workers must address the spiritual crisis behind today's mental health crisis. ✅ How Campus Life and para-church ministries shaped a generation of students and leaders. ✅ The importance of partnering with parents—not just students—in ministry. ✅ Scriptures that sustain leaders when burnout, grief, or doubt hit hard (Matthew 11, Mark 9, Matthew 8). ✅ Why youth pastors matter so deeply—because for many kids, you are the church they think of first. This heartfelt conversation will remind every youth pastor, volunteer, mentor, or parent that while ministry is never easy, the seeds you plant may grow into eternal impact—even if you don't see the fruit for years.

In this episode, I talk with Adina Glickstein — Master's student in Media Studies under Nathan Schneider at UC Boulder and editor-at-large at Spike Art Magazine — whose recent Compact Mag article, The Rise and Fall of Urbit finally gave me the excuse to talk about Urbit on the podcast and why its failing.We unpack what Urbit is trying to be (although many don't seem to agree), its creator Curtis Yarvin (aka Mencius Moldbug, philosopher of the alt-right), and how its governance structure mirrors his anti-democratic ideals. Adina shares her experience moving from enthusiasm to disillusionment — from Berlin meetups to Urbit Assembly, to witnessing the project lean into neo-colonial “exit” politics.We also get into the reactionary politics inside the Urbit community, the recent leadership coup pitting long-time developers against Yarvin and his backers, and how this drama unexpectedly created a demand for “voice” in a system designed entirely around “exit.” Links:User Error — Adina's monthly tech column for Spike Art MagazineThe Rise and Fall of Urbit — Adina's piece in Compact MagAdina on InstagramThis episode is sponsored by NYM, the world's most private VPN.

Episode 3647: Mark Fisher explores how the words we use can shape and reshape our mindset, suggesting three common words to eliminate for a more empowered, open, and constructive inner dialogue. By swapping out “problem,” “mistake,” and “no” for more proactive alternatives, we can build stronger beliefs, reduce stress, and deepen connection with others. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://markfisherfitness.com/3-words-to-delete-from-your-vocabulary-why-words-matter/ Quotes to ponder: "But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought." "Every single word is a reflection of how we perceive the world around us." “Saying ‘Yes - and - ' tells the other party that you are listening and agree with at least part of what they're saying.” Episode references: 1984 by George Orwell: https://www.amazon.com/1984-Signet-Classics-George-Orwell/dp/0451524934 Learn more about your ad choices.
